Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) by Kamil M — 01 Jun 2017

Rogue one was a movie that tried to be dark and real, but only accomplished this in the second half of the movie due to the first half having a clunky plot that doesn't seem to get anywhere until she returns to the rebels from the secret mission to kill her dad.

Now I would rate higher because of the pretty good 2nd half with an amazing action scene with Vader to really finish up the movie, but the character of Jyn Urso is unbelievably bland! In cinema, there are two types of protagonist, an active protagonist that makes things happen and a passive protagonist where things happen to it.

Jyn is a passive protagonist if I've ever scene one (pun) and it just seems as if she never does anything without. Being told to do so by some else.
